I really liked the ending theme--the jazzyness is nice, and obviously plays a bit on what Yuji Ohno's always done for Lupin. Something about Jazz and stealing things just seems to work out.

Hyper mega awesome, This special was just awesome. Everything about it was almost perfect. A few notes about it...

1) The animation, Wow, It was honestly better than the last movie. You can tell they wanted to make it look great, I mean the backgrounds stood out so much from a regular DC episode. His room was almost rendered in 3D to me at one point, and the characters themselves were drawn in a way which was distinct from DC, but still similar.

2) The change with the mom was a bit weird at first, but I am starting to like it a bit. As it sets Chikage to be something of a mirror of Yukiko, much like every other MK character mirrors a DC character in some way (or the other way around).

3) The sound track was epic and always complementing.

4) The slight changes like the end's placement was fine, as it made the scene less crowded, but I could have done without the new magic trick added (the martian), but it did fit in with the general craziness.

5) So glad it's called Episode One as that almost confirms they have at least an intent of making more in some fashion, I have a feeling that they plan to do something like the Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story. I'd prefer if they decided to make the next season of DC just Magic Kaito! That is filler everyone can enjoy.

I like Kaito's depiction, but Aoko was way better in 219. Better voice and appearance, more manga like.

I don't so much care about the longer hair, but she sounds so much like Ran now. I know MK is the same setup as DC in a lot of ways, but I feel like Aoko is more aggressive than Ran in the manga, and I wish she sounded that way in the anime. Her other VA was closer to how I imagined her.

But it's fine--next to all the stuff about the special that was awesome, I can overlook it pretty easily.

agreed. i actually like her better in the special. they tried to set her apart from the manga. so it won't be mixed up with DC. i personally liked all of it
